Just posting to iron out some facts about merger and server locations.

NA and LA servers could merge because both of them were ran from the same server in NA.
TW and KR servers could merge because both of them were ran from the same server in KR.

SEA server is ran in Singapore. Hence merging with another region is unlikely, that's why Blizzard gave SEA accounts access to NA.

and are currently in the process of a multi-million dollar scheme to make our internet as fast as koreas

As for competitiveness I don't find NA harder whatsoever.

I play SEA and NA and unless things have changed a lot in the last month, I never had any trouble finding games on SEA. At worst I've run into the same people 2-3 times in a session, but that's no big thing at all. I didn't have any trouble finding games when I was gold either. Granted it was a little bit back, but I find it hard to believe its that barren now.

As for competitiveness I don't find NA harder whatsoever.

This blog is interesting,it pin points one of the greatest problems involving localizing and money grubbing attitudes by Activision/Blizzard.But don't you get an AM key with your purchase of the SEA server?I know the ping is horrid but atleast its probably better than the TW/KR server!I know quite a few Aus. players that don't lag in NA.

For the Australians comparing ping to SEA and NA, your point is moot if you don't post which part of Australia your in, cause Western Aus has better ping to Singapore and Eastern Aus has better ping to NA.

It also depends on if your ISP is using the Perth-Singapore line or routing through Japan. I don't remember which ISPs do and don't but my friends across Aus (whom I used to raid with in WoW) have done the checks and comparisons before between SEA and NA servers.

edit: I would imagine if your ISP routes through Japan then your best ping would come from TW/KR server.

I think MrBGJM you are being a sook. Game wait times are about a minute max 1v1 and ping isn't that bad. I don't think you would find Naniwa complaining that he can't get out of gold on Sea because of his ping and load times lol

I play on both NA and SEA. Honestly I get about 500ms if not less lag on the NA server nowhere near 1.5seconds. I am also in Gold and play infrequently but whenever I search I wait no longer than 2 mins and am always against Gold's or Platinum's. I don't know when you're trying to play, maybe your time online is just odd hours.

In relation to the lag, what sort of net do you have?

Edit: I live in Farn North Qld and my net max's out at like 8mbs on a good day

I dont think 5pm-9pm are odd hours for SEA server.
I find it a stretch to think that im the only one who has 2-5 minute queue times or longer.
Its cable internet with 20/1 speeds on a normal day.
I live in sydney, and it seems that it might not be the best place for connection the NA, as I have 2 seconds of delay today.

What?
It is the closest (by distance) to SEA, I mean technically, Korea IS South East Asia, but its split up for whatever reason, therefore having less delay than NA and EU.
